The Java in Administration Special Interest Group (JA-SIG) is an independent organization of higher-education institutions using Java technologies to meet campus business needs. The JA-SIG encourages communication of best practices and innovative methodologies related to Java development.

"Today, with the benefit of object oriented technology and Java, we have a great opportunity in higher education to do things better as colleagues. The purpose of JA-SIG is, first, to share our experiences as we build applications with Java, and second, to develop a common infrastructure upon which we can build shareable components. We welcome the participation of both educational institutions and commercial enterprises in this organization. We all need to apply leading edge technologies to administrative applications to address the needs of our institutions in the future."
